14-year-old Sorrell Leczkowski from Leeds is one of the Manchester terror attack victims.

She reportedly died in hospital with her mum and grandma by her side. They were also injured in the attack. Friends have paid tribute to Sorrell on social media.

Mark Burton wrote: "Can't get over this sad news! brings it to light when people innocent and close get brought into these sick peoples views.

"Fourteen and not even lived your life yet, you'll be sadly missed by us all."

The family of Leczkowski have paid tribute to their "rock." Michael Healey, grandfather of Sorrell Leczkowski, said he was "absolutely heartbroken" to confirm she was among the dead.

"Sorrell was only 14, but she was our rock, she kept us all grounded. She was such a clever, talented, creative girl, there was nothing she couldn't do," Healey said.

"She was going to be an architect and wanted to go to Columbia University in New York to study so that she could build hotels with slides coming out of the rooms and, so that she could build her mum a house," he added.

Leczkowski, from Adel, Leeds, was with her mother and grandmother when she died -- they were both injured in the bombing.

A statement released by Leczkowski's school described her as a "delightful member" of the community.

"Sorrell ... enjoyed her studies, had a lovely group of friends and was a real asset to Allerton High School," headteacher Elaine Silson said.
